SPENER, David. A Song in Movement: " We Shall Not Be Moved" in the United States, Spain, and Chile in the 19th and 20th Centuries . hist.crit. [online]. 2015, n.57, pp.55-74. ISSN 0121-1617.  https://doi.org/10.7440/histcrit57.2015.04.

This article presents the results of a study that examines the history of the song " We Shall Not Be Moved" and the singing of it in different cultural and sociopolitical contexts over the course of two centuries. The song originated in the religious practices of African slaves in the United States in the 19th century. In the 20th century it was adopted as an anthem by labor union movements and the civil rights movement in the United States. It later arrived in Spain, where it played a role in the resistance against the Franco regime before being sung in Chile to defend the socialist project of Salvador Allende. Various theoretical concepts are used in the analysis, including those of transculturation, cosmopolitanism, and transcultural capital.

Palavras-chave : social movement; transcultural analysis; vocal music; protest movement; globalization.
